Currently brew in the garage, then flow the wort through the chiller and down to my basement where I ferment. First batch was an Oatmeal Stout that was pretty thick adn it was difficult to get to flow down to the basement. Yesterday brewed a lager and used a march pump and the wort flew down to the basement with just a couple of hits to the power on the pump ( Thanks J & K for the use of the pump). A special thanks to several members of the Rock Hopper Brew Club out of Castle Rock CO for ides and tolerating all of my questions. Also thanks to my dad (the old guy in the pics doing the welding) for all the help building the 3 tier! Any questions on the garage sink drain set up,( ability to move ity in & out from under the bench) let me know I can always post more pics if needed.

I'd like to see more pics of your sink setup, that is a great way to save floor space for cars.

The sink is a Home Depot two tub model. I bolted it to the rolling base constructed out of angle iron & diamond plate. Water connections from the house are basic ball valve out of the wall that stub into whashing maching 10' hoses



They connect to the sink


I core drilled a hole through the foundation of the garage wall. There is crawl space under the house adjacent to the garage wall.



I ran a 3" drain line up to the foundation wall. Then using the rubber reduction fitting above ran a 10' long piece of 2" into the 3" main drain.


I left the hose clamp on the 2" rubber reducer loose so that the 2" line slides in & out of the 3" line.



Add a little lubricant and it works great!

I actually bought the kegs from New Belgium for $15.00 a piece. They were dead kegs they had lying around. Besides the 90 mile drive up to Fort Collins it was a pretty good deal & they are legal as well.

VERY nice work! Your garage rocks. Looks like some nice toys in there too. What kind of chopper is that?

2006 Big Dog k-9. Hence the name Steel Horse Brewing Company. I didn't think it was visable in the pics previously posted. I will see if I can find & post some better pics of the brewerys name sake.

That's excellent work. The diamond plating gives it that extra sparkle.
